PALM BAY, Fla. - An 18-year-old was arrested for the murder of two teens who were found dead at the Compound in Palm Bay last Christmas, officials said. 

Jamarcus Simpson was arrested for the shooting deaths of Jeremiah Brown and Travon Anthony that happened on Christmas Day last year.  

On Dec. 25, 2022, Palm Bay officers responded to Camillo Circle SW around 8:30 p.m. after 911 was called in reference to a deceased body being found on the side of the road. 

When officers arrived at the scene, they said they found a second body – both of which died from apparent gunshot wounds. 

Simpson was arrested at the St. Johns County Jail facility while he was being held for unrelated charges and is being charged with two counts of First Degree Premeditated Murder.

The case is still an active investigation.
